Radiofrequency Ablation to Improve Survival After Conversion Chemotherapy for Colorectal Liver Metastases.

2016 
Introduction Systemic chemotherapy is able to convert colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) that are initially unsuitable for local treatment into locally treatable disease. Surgical resection further improves survival in these patients. Our aim was to evaluate disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival, and morbidity for patients with CRLM treated with RFA following effective downstaging by chemotherapy, and to identify factors associated with recurrence and survival.
